Selectors are functions that extract specific pieces of state from the Redux store. They enhance performance and readability. For instance, a selector like 'getUserById' can retrieve a user by their ID, allowing components to access only the necessary data.

MyISAM is a non-transactional storage engine, ideal for read-heavy applications, while InnoDB supports transactions, foreign keys, and row-level locking, making it suitable for high-concurrency environments. For instance, InnoDB is preferable for e-commerce sites where data integrity is critical.

To restore a MySQL database, use the command line with the `mysql` tool. For example, running `mysql -u username -p database_name < backup.sql` will restore the database from the specified backup file, recreating the original structure and data.

User roles and permissions in MongoDB are managed using role-based access control (RBAC). You can define custom roles with specific privileges. For example, `db.createRole({role: 'readWrite', privileges: [{resource: {db: 'myDB', collection: ''}, actions: ['find', 'insert', 'update']}]})` creates a role that allows reading and writing.

The AUTO_INCREMENT attribute allows MySQL to automatically generate a unique integer for a column, typically used for primary keys. For example, defining a column as `user_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY` ensures each new user record gets a unique ID without manual input.

User-defined functions (UDFs) allow users to create custom functions to encapsulate reusable logic in SQL. UDFs can take parameters and return values. For example, a UDF to calculate tax could be defined as `CREATE FUNCTION CalculateTax(amount DECIMAL) RETURNS DECIMAL BEGIN RETURN amount * 0.1; END;`.

To check the performance of a MySQL query, use the `EXPLAIN` statement before your SELECT query. This provides insights into how MySQL executes the query, revealing details such as which indexes are used and the estimated number of rows processed. For example, `EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 30;` gives performance metrics.

Change streams in MongoDB provide a way to listen for real-time changes to documents in a collection. They allow applications to react to updates, insertions, and deletions without polling. For example, using `db.collection.watch()` lets you respond instantly to changes, enabling real-time applications like chat systems.

The CASE statement allows conditional logic in SQL queries, returning values based on specified conditions. It works like an IF statement. For example, `SELECT name, CASE WHEN score >= 60 THEN 'Pass' ELSE 'Fail' END AS result FROM exams;` assigns 'Pass' or 'Fail' based on the score.

Stored procedures offer several advantages: they enhance performance by reducing the amount of data sent over the network, promote code reusability, encapsulate business logic, and improve security by limiting direct access to tables. For example, a stored procedure for processing orders can manage all related SQL operations.

TRUNCATE is used to remove all rows from a table quickly without logging individual row deletions. It resets any AUTO_INCREMENT values to zero. For example, executing `TRUNCATE TABLE orders;` removes all orders in a fraction of the time compared to DELETE, but cannot be rolled back.

Database migration involves transferring data between different database systems or versions. This can be achieved using tools like `mysqldump` for exporting and importing data or third-party migration tools. For instance, exporting a database with `mysqldump` and importing it to a new server using `mysql` command facilitates migration.

MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service provided by MongoDB. It simplifies database deployment, scaling, and management, offering automated backups, monitoring, and security features. By using Atlas, developers can focus on building applications without worrying about infrastructure management, as it handles scaling and redundancy automatically.

A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of data retrieval operations. It works by creating a sorted representation of the indexed column(s). For instance, indexing the 'email' column allows for quick lookups of user accounts based on their email addresses.

A rainbow table attack involves using precomputed tables of hash values to quickly find plaintext passwords. BcryptJS mitigates this risk through its unique salting process, ensuring that even identical passwords produce different hashes, making rainbow tables ineffective against BcryptJS hashes.

Hashing is a one-way function that transforms data into a fixed-size string, making it irreversible, while encryption is reversible, allowing the original data to be retrieved with a key. BcryptJS uses hashing to securely store passwords, ensuring they cannot be easily decrypted.

Next.js allows you to create API routes in the `pages/api` directory. These routes are serverless functions that can handle requests, such as POST or GET. Example: You can create a route `pages/api/user.js` to handle user data and fetch it from the client-side using `fetch('/api/user')`.

API routes in Next.js are serverless functions used to create back-end APIs directly in the application. You can handle different requests like GET or POST inside `pages/api`. Example: A simple API route at `pages/api/hello.js` can return a JSON response with a message: `{ 'message': 'Hello' }`.

Dynamic routing in Next.js is achieved by creating files with bracket notation in the `pages` directory, e.g., `[id].js`. These routes can capture dynamic values from the URL. Example: A blog post page `pages/post/[slug].js` captures the slug from the URL and fetches the corresponding blog post.

Next.js uses link prefetching to load pages in the background for faster navigation. When using the `Link` component, set the `prefetch` attribute to `true` (enabled by default), which helps to prefetch the resources for the linked page. Example: Hovering over a link starts preloading the page before clicking.

ISR allows updating static pages after they have been deployed. By using the `revalidate` key in `getStaticProps`, you can set a time interval for when Next.js will regenerate the page. Example: A blog post can be statically generated, and ISR will update it at regular intervals if the content changes.

XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a language used to transform XML documents into other formats, such as HTML, plain text, or other XML structures. It defines a set of rules to match elements in the source XML and output the desired format. XSLT allows for dynamic transformations and is widely used in data conversion and web development. 

 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <h1><xsl:value-of select="note/heading"/></h1>
        <p><xsl:value-of select="note/body"/></p>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It is a markup language designed for storing and transporting data. The primary purpose of XML is to allow data to be shared across different systems, especially via the internet. Unlike HTML, XML is focused on data representation rather than presentation. It is both human-readable and machine-readable.

  <from>Jani</from>
  <heading>Reminder</heading>

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is used to store and transport data, while HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is used to display data. In XML, you define your own tags based on the data, while in HTML, the tags are predefined and represent the structure of web pages. Additionally, XML is case-sensitive, whereas HTML is not. XML focuses on data, whereas HTML focuses on how the data is displayed. 

 XML: <person><name>John</name><age>30</age></person>
HTML: <h1>John</h1><p>Age: 30</p>

DTD (Document Type Definition) and XML Schema are both used to define the structure of an XML document. However, XML Schema is more powerful as it supports data types, namespaces, and more complex structures. DTD is simpler but less expressive. XML Schema is written in XML itself, making it more extensible, while DTD has its own syntax. XML Schema also allows for richer validation rules compared to DTD. 

 DTD: <!ELEMENT note (to,from,heading,body)>
XML Schema: <xs:element name="note" type="xs:string" />
